The Public Funds Summit provides a unique environment in which members of the public sector can exchange ideas and learn from other delegates, money managers, and consultants. Although attendance is not limited to those in the public sector, the conference takes aim at topics that are of particular relevance to public pension funds.
Funding concerns and declining returns have led many pension plans to seek a balance between risk and reward in order to meet pension obligations. Furthermore, the role of investment and its returns are essential to the concern of meeting obligations to pension members. How investment managers, across various strategies, can aid public pension plans in ensuring a safe future for its members will be key in the conversations at the event. The exchange of ideas both in and out of the session halls is key in educating and identifying viable alternatives that will address these concerns. Beyond the investment sphere, we also address legal issues facing pension plans, ethics regulations and the importance of on-going education for plan sponsors and their fiduciaries. We will also discuss the importance of politics and public perception of pension plans and the role that trustees and pension officers have in creating a positive image for their plans.

LOS ANGELES - Whether on stage, in the club or in the recording studio, DJs and remixers will look as good as they sound with American Audios new DCD-PRO610 Professional Dual CD Player. Featuring an all-new black brushed aluminum face plate that provides a stunning contrast to its silver chrome knobs and buttons -- plus big, bright LCDs on each side -- this sleek-looking machine will turn heads as fast as it spins discs.
But the DCD-PRO610s beauty doesnt run only skin (or case) deep. This pro deck is also "gorgeous" on the inside, because its loaded with all of the cool features that DJs and remixers need to create terrific tracks and mixes - at an amazingly affordable price.
For starters, the DCD-PRO610 comes equipped with six on-board digital FX. Two of these are filter effects, which change the frequency of the music up and down. There are also two Coast effects (3-second and 5-second) that produce an analog-style "winding down" sound, similar to the low-pitched whir created by turning off the power on a spinning turntable. Rounding out the DCD-PRO610s FX arsenal is an electrifying Bop effect that instantly plays the last cue in a stutter-type mode, and a Reverse Play feature that will play a track backwards until its disengaged.
All of the FX can be added to mixes on the fly while music is playing. Plus, DJs and remixers will be able to work all sorts of added magic with the DCD-PRO610 by layering its FX. Thats because the unit includes American Audios cutting-edge DSP (Digital Signal Processing) Technology, which allows different FX to be layered on top of one another to create a virtually limitless range of sounds.
The DCD-PRO610 also offers Fader Q Start, when used with a compatible Q-Series mixer from American Audio. Each side of the deck features four programmable cue points (4 seconds each) with instant start.
Other features on the DCD-PRO610 include: Tempo Lock (Master Tempo), Seamless Loop, Anti-Shock Memory (20 seconds per side), Digital Output (S/PDIF), and a pitch range of +/-8%, +/-12%, +/-16%. Another great tool is the LCD display, which provides cue, program, play, pause, track and elapse indicators, along with other valuable information such as a time meter, frame meter and pitch meter.
"We took all of the performance and convenience features that todays DJs and remixers demand in a CD player and combined them into one terrific-looking package," said Tom Freret, national sales manager for American Audio. "Not only is the DCD-PRO610 loaded with features and super-attractive with its new black face plate, it also offers the exceptional quality and dollar value that users have come to expect from American Audio."
The DCD-PRO610 is 19-inch rackmountable and comes with a control unit. The CD player unit takes two rackmount spaces, and measures 2" (51mm)L x 19" (482mm)W x 3.5" (89mm)H. The control unit takes three rackmount spaces, and measures 2" (51mm)L x 19" (482 mm)W x 3.5" (89mm)H. Total weight is 16 lbs. (7 kegs).
Sampling rate is 44.1 kHz at normal pitch. Oversampling rate: 8 times. Frequency response: +/-1.0dB 20Hz-20kHz. Total Harmonic Distortion: 0.02%. Signal to noise ratio: 84 dB.
The suggested retail price of the DCD-PRO610 is $619.95.
For more information, contact American Audio at 800-322-6337. Fax: 323-582-2610. Address: 4295 Charter Street, Los Angeles, CA 90058. Web: www.adjaudio.com. e-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com

Japanese chicken curry
30 min
Even though I mainly go to my favorite Japanese restaurant for sushi, there are also other dishes I love very much. One of them is my beloved chicken curry with rice, or better tori kare. Ordering it became for me a sort of ritual I cannot miss. I always, and I stress always, need to eat this delicious, juicy and tasty bowl of paradise. However, since I can't go to the restaurant so often as I would (unluckily), I started to think about trying to cook it myself. I surfed the internet for days looking for recipes. I just couldn't figure out what were the ingredients of the sauce. The conclusion is that many people use for it a specific mix called Golden Curry from S&B. After months checking I finally found it and I can say I am the happiest person ever. The taste is exactly the one I craved for and, adding the right ingredients, I could recreate the perfect recipe. I used the mild version, but there are also medium hot and hot available for use. Want something different? Try to replace the chicken with shrimps!
- 600g chicken breast
- 200g rice
- 1 onion
- 1 green bell pepper
- Golden Curry (5 servings)
- sesame seeds
- 2 spring onions
- wok oil
- salt
Boil the rice with a pinch of salt, drain it and let it rest. Cut the chicken breast in small pieces and chop the onion. Put some oil in the wok and lightly brown onion and meat for about 5 minutes, seasoning them with salt. At this point add 620ml water and bring to a boil. Meanwhile clean the bell pepper and cut it in very small parts. Put in a pan a little of wok oil, the bell pepper, a pinch of salt and 50ml of water. Let it cook over low heat until the pepper is soft. After stirring the meat reduce the heat, cover and simmer until it is tender. This will take more or less 10 minutes. Add the Golden Curry sauce mix breaking it into pieces and stir until completely melted. Cook for a few minutes stirring constantly until the sauce gets thick enough. In another pan put some oil and fry for 5 minutes the rice in it. Serve the dish putting the rice on the bottom of a bowl, then the chicken curry with on top bell pepper, sliced spring onion and sesame seeds.
Comment if you have something to say, to share a project, for questions or requests!

I am the lucky one that can share this meal. It's so good!!

Live Webcast: From St. Luke's Episcopal Hospital and Texas Heart Institute: December 5, 2007 3:00 PM CST (21:00 UTC)
HOUSTON, TX--(Marketwire - December 5, 2007) - On Dec 5th, 2007, at 3 pm (CT) Zvonimir
Krajcer, MD, FACC, Co-Director - Peripheral Vascular Intervention and
Clinical Professor of Medicine at Baylor College of Medicine will perform
an endovascular abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA)
repair with the GORE EXCLUDER® AAA
Endoprosthesis at St. Luke's Episcopal Hospital and Texas Heart
Institute in Houston,Texas. Doctor Krajcer will be supported by Eduardo
Hernandez-Vila, MD, FACC, Assistant Clinical Professor at Baylor. The case
will be moderated by Neil Strickman, MD, FACP, FACC, Clinical Professor of
Medicine at Baylor. This procedure can be
seen on www.OR-Live.com.
The annual mortality from abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA)
rupture is 15,000 patients, making it the 13th leading cause of death in
the US. Traditional surgical treatment of AAA involves a large incision to
place a synthetic graft to repair the diseased artery. This method can
result in long hospital stays and painful recoveries.
The GORE
EXCLUDER® AAA Endoprosthesis is an innovative device designed to be a
minimally invasive treatment option for patients with abdominal aortic
aneurysms (AAA). It is constructed of a durable ePTFE bifurcated graft with
an outer self-expanding Nitinol support structure to combine both device
flexibility and material durability. The function of the endoprosthesis is to internally
reline the abdominal aorta, including the bifurcation, and isolate the
aneurysm from blood circulation. The device is inserted by a catheter-based
delivery technique through small incisions in the patient's legs. The
expected outcomes of this new treatment option include decreased procedural
times, shorter hospital stays and reduced recovery time.

The estate of a woman who committed suicide in McHenry County Jail in 2005 has settled its lawsuit for at least $1 million with Centegra Health System and one of its employees on claims they provided inadequate medical care, lawyers in the case said.
Centegra and the employee, which provided health care at the jail, did not admit fault in the matter, saying they wanted to avoid further litigation. The woman's family said they hope the case prevents future deaths of people kept behind bars for immigration offenses.

Dog and Mouse teaser trailer
On a whim one day I downloaded the app called StopMotion Animation Maker after seeing my amazingly talented friend, Linda Sweeney's super cool book trailer she had made for her new book, When the Wind Blows. It's the sweetest thing EVER. Click here to see it.
I promptly forgot that I had the app or wanted to make my own animation. Of course.
Then today I was going through my phone and saw the app I thought to myself, "Self, you have a million things to do and you TOTALLY need to go grocery shopping, you know what makes TOTAL sense? MAKE THAT ANIMATION! And spend the WHOLE day doing it!"
And I thought, "Self, that is a damn FINE idea! Who needs dinner?! I think there are some frozen turkey burgers in the freezer – hot diggity, let's ANIMATE!"
I present to you my first ever Stop Motion Animation for my newest book coming out in Jan. 2015, Dog and Mouse. And I warn you: It is pretty terrible. But it is also terribly cute. So I am willing to share it with you. And I plan on making lots more. Because WHO NEEDS DINNER, Y'ALL??! Not my family! 😀
No one said life wasn't scary.
It's scary to take risks – to take chances. Things go wrong. We make mistakes. We mess it all up. But only by trying, only by failing can we figure out what doesn't work. More more importantly though, it helps us figure out what DOES work. Mistakes help us figure out how we can do it better. What we like, what we don't like. The more we fail, the faster we learn what NOT to do. What's the thing you are scared of trying, but maybe want more than anything else in the world? If you don't try, don't move forward, you can guarantee you won't get hurt, but you also guarantee you won't get that dream of yours either. Mistakes are OKAY. Failure is OKAY.
Jump. Your wings will come – I PROMISE. But be willing to tumble and flail about in the air for a while until they do. Because flying? Is AWESOME.

|Review Date
|Xbox One
|E10 (Everyone 10+)
|Frontier Developments
I have a history of playing zoo-related games, specifically Zoo Tycoon and Zoo Vet titles. Seeing Zoo Tycoon return now on Xbox One was pretty exciting, since it implied new gameplay possibilities. I'm happy to report that I'm not disappointed by what I've experienced so far, and that means a whole lot of tycooning around my zoos!
I guess that the zoo appeal began by real trips to the zoo when I was little, and I'm not sure why I even enjoyed it because there were always mishaps. I remember being pecked on the elbow by an ostrich for no apparent reason, since I was just standing there. I remember an elephant snorting on my hand when we were feeding them fruit (ew... elephant boogers!). Most of all, I remember a curious giraffe that decided to taste my hair by licking my head. Oddly enough, many years later, a horse did the same. But what does this have anything to do with my review? Because now I can get close to the animals WITHOUT being pecked at, snorted on or most importantly, end up with my hair in a slobbering mess.
After going through a series of initially overwhelming tutorials, I was off to take care of my own zoo. I do recommend completing Training Mode, since there are a lot of little details to learn and it seems a bit strange at first to browse through all the menus and learn where everything can be found. Fortunately, Kinect makes it easier since you can just tell it what you want to do. Personally, I prefer using the controller and leaving the Kinect for animal interaction. More about that later.
Managing a zoo is fairly complex and goes beyond placing exhibits and adopting animals. At least with this installment of the franchise we don't need to worry about placing paths, since as soon as we place an exhibit, it will automatically connect to existing structures where possible.
Zoo Tycoon is best played in tycoon view (bird's eye) since you can get a great view of your zoo, facilities and exhibits, move around instantly, and see a bunch of pings that show you all kinds of useful information: animal needs and levels, visitors happiness, range of bathrooms, state of repair of structures and much more.
However, roaming around seeing your zoo from a guest's point of view is quite rewarding, and you can go around snapping photos and trying to unlock the hidden coins. There is also quite a bit of satisfaction from driving around in a buggy without fear or running people over, since they will get out of the way - this is not GTA, boys and girls, no bonus for running over grandma!
There are several kinds of exhibits (tundra, forest, alpine and so on), and they come in three different sizes, each housing a limited number of animals. Animals have social needs, and you need to pay attention to what each considers a social group. Some will be content to have just one partner, while others require at least three other companions to be happy. When you adopt an animal, keep an eye on the details to learn about social needs and specific habitat that it requires.
Animals require nourishment, entertainment and cleanliness to be happy, so when placing an exhibit you must also build these three add-ons. There are specific spots in the exhibit where you can build them, and there is also a limited number you can have per exhibit and in total. There are also interaction stations that you can place as one of these enrichment options: a hand-feeding station, a hose and a glass window.
The feeding station was my first "oooh ahhhh" moment. By using the gestures prompted on the screen, you can interact with the animals via Kinect. Extend your arm and move it around to target a food basket. Lower your arm while making a fist to pick up one of the available food items. Raise your arm, flip your wrist and open your hand to feed the animal. No elephant boogers on this hand!
The hose is ok but it has terrible controls. I tried controlling it via Kinect and most of the time it was impossible to get it going. With the controller, it's somewhat better, but still extremely frustrating since it keeps flopping all over the place. It is rather funny to see a bear roll around on the floor enjoying the water pressure though.
The glass window provides some moments of hilarity as we interact with silly chimpanzees. And I don't know who is sillier, me or the chimpanzee, since I found myself making all these faces and crazy gestures one after another. It's quite impressive how the Kinect can recognize your mouth and eye movements! And hell, I don't even like monkeys.
Soon enough, you will notice the task is way too much for one person to handle, so you should build facilities that allow you to hire and train staff. You can have more zookeepers to help with the animals, janitors to clean up and repair, and breeding specialists to give the animals some... let's call it romantic encouragement, I guess.
Breeding is a great way to create new species, but don't get carried away, there will be no monkey headed lions roaming around. You can cross species of the same type of animal (polar bear with grizzly bear, for example) to discover something new and exotic. Your guests will also love baby animals, giving you a popularity boost. With popularity comes increased funding, and we definitely want that to keep our zoos running in tip top condition.
Many of the items and animals won't be available at first, since they are unlocked by leveling up. Once they are unlocked, they must be researched first to become available, and this all costs money. Other things you may want to invest in are decorations, which help keep your guests happy, and concessions which will take care of their hunger needs.
Granted, Zoo Tycoon is a game of patience and attention to detail, but there are a few activities that help change the pace. Aside from the already mentioned animal interactions, the game will throw timed challenges at you at a fairly good pace. You'll be asked to breed a certain animal, release animals to the wild, take certain photos for magazines and newspapers, add something to your zoo, or keep happiness levels green for a given amount of time. Other tasks revolve around buggy checkpoint races to deliver vaccines or food to the animals. Complete the challenges for money and popularity rewards, fail them and you get fined.
For added features, you can build a zoo with up to three other players, record and share clips and build your own photo album. You can even contribute to real animal conservation causes just by achieving certain in-game goals related to preservation of endangered species and releasing animals into the wild. These specific community activities raise awareness to real world events, and Microsoft is committed to donate resources to the respective causes assisting with preservation of said animals.
Zoo Tycoon takes a big leap in terms of realism. It's an amazing sensory experience, from gesture to ambient noise, absolutely gorgeous to look at, to the point I'm content just going around snapping photos, watching how animals behave and interacting with them. But this is a tycoon game after all, and a very in-depth one at that, which means it is not for everyone. For what it is, I absolutely love it, everything from the the fantastic encyclopedia with all kinds of information on all animals to making faces at a monkey, race around on a buggy or watch clumsy baby animals trip all over themselves. And at least this way, I can get close to the giraffes without getting my hair slobbered on!

Maddie's story starts with the passing of my toy yorkie, on January 1st, 2002. Max meant the world to me and when he died I was devastated! In March of that year I saw a poster about Rescue Dachshunds. I made a phone call asking if they had a mini female. They didn't have one at that time and said it could be up to a year before they could find one for me. I said I would wait. The very next day I got a call saying they had found a mini female dachshund! Was I interested? Yeah! Within a week I was holding that beautiful little girl! I named her Madison Leigh; Maddie for short. When they found her she was starving, her tail and both ears had been frost bitten, and she had no hair left on her tiny body. Because we worked and I didn't want her to be lonely, I got a puppy to keep her company. Zach is now a year old and he mothers her. She didn't know how to play, but Zach has taught her how to play and to play with all their toys! He even helped her find her "voice"! When my husband gets ready for work in the mornings she barks and barks at him, with her tail straight up and waggs and waggs her tail. When she's done telling him "Good Morning" she walks back into our bedroom and snuggles back down into her huge bed with Zach and that's where I find them in the mornings. I truely belive that Max brought Maddie into my life. He knew I needed that hole in my heart filled and that Maddie needed a forever home. Maddie is very happy and secure. She's my Angel!

Wealth-X Presents 8 Predictions For The Chinese Lunar New Year Of The Horse
Jan 22, 2014, 04:00 EST
SINGAPORE, Jan. 22, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- As the Chinese Year of the Snake makes way for the Year of the Horse on 31 January 2014, Wealth-X, the world's leading ultra high net worth (UHNW) intelligence firm, presents eight predictions for the coming lunar new year:
- The population of Chinese UHNW individuals with net worth in excess of US$500 million will grow by almost 6% to 535 individuals, while the growth of the Chinese UHNW population is expected to stagnate.
- Chinese UHNW individuals with net worth in excess of US$500 million will experience 4% growth in wealth to US$630 billion. Total Chinese UHNW wealth is expected to increase by only 2%.
- Despite this performance, China's total UHNW population and wealth will exceed Japan's by 2026, the next Year of the Horse.
- The liquidity of the average Chinese UHNW individual will increase from 12% to nearly 14% of net worth, still lower than the world average of 25%.
- The proportion of Chinese UHNW individuals deriving their wealth from industrial conglomerates will increase from 5.5% to 6.5%.
- 18% more of Chinese UHNW individuals' luxury spending will be done outside Greater China (i.e. China, Taiwan, Hong Kong) this year, primarily in American and European markets.
- The Chinese private jet market for UHNW individuals will grow by 30% in 2014.
- Currently, only 1,050 UHNW individuals are non-resident Chinese living outside Greater China. This population will grow by 8% this year to 1,135.
The Horse is the seventh zodiac sign in the 12-symbol Chinese horoscope. Wealth-X data shows that those born in the Horse year are the most highly educated among UHNW individuals, and donate more to education causes than any other zodiac sign.

hi ranar-Is your doctor prescribing klonopin (Clonazapam), and if so, is it for anxiety? Either way, I am prescribed 3x .5 mgs a day and there is no problem whatsoever. It is a fairly harmless benzo, and probably the best one to be prescribed as a first time user. There is nothing to be worried about if a doctor has rx'd them to you- they don't just pull a reason out of thin air and write you a script. if you are afraid to get hooked, then by all means tell him that, there are plenty of options for you, good luck.rc4

What does it mean to set and maintain the standard for an assessment? Frances Wilson, Principal Researcher at OCR takes a look at this fundamental issue in assessment.
Frances will examine the key issues involved in setting and maintaining standards, and the different ways in which a standard can be set. She'll explain how expert judgement might be used alongside other (statistical) methods, and consider the role of standard setting in relation to the context and use of an assessment.
The speaker had a really clear delivery style - refreshingly free from jargon!"
This specialist training event is an ideal refresher if you're already involved in standards and if you want to increase your awareness of the issues involved in maintaining standards.
If you're new to this area of work, or are looking to move into the field, you'll gain a useful introduction to the different approaches to setting standards and their associated benefits.
A basic knowledge of statistics will be helpful, but isn't essential.
Dr Frances Wilson completed her PhD in Developmental Psycholinguistics at the University of Edinburgh in 2009, and has taught and conducted research in this area at a number of universities in the US, UK and Germany, working on projects relating to second language acquisition, bilingualism and event perception.
Frances joined Cambridge Assessment's Assessment Research and Development unit in 2012. In 2014, she moved to the Research and Technical Standards team, where she is now Principal Researcher. She compiles the OCR Research Programme, and is involved in conducting research on the setting and maintaining of standards for OCR's qualifications, often working jointly with both JCQ and Ofqual.
Frances has also published research on technical assessment issues, practical science assessment, and been involved in the development of OCR's reformed GCSE and A level qualifications.

That's right you read that correctly...30 minute Thursday's are back!
{Please forgive me...I don't have any photos. Not a one. What kind of a blogger am I? Just trust me on this recipe. It was too dark to photograph!}
No, wait, actually I do have this one:
Okay, cute aprons aside, here we go...
I've really been wanting to try a tortellini soup. I searched around and read through lots of them. Some seemed super bland and some seemed over the top, but this one seemed simple enough, hearty and EASY!
The original recipe is from foodnetwork and I tweaked it a bit.
This soup had so much flavor I never even used salt and pepper!
In a soup pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat, add the garlic and onion and cook for 5-7 minutes.
Add the sausage, and cook, breaking it up as you go, until it's no longer pink. This will take about 10 minutes.
Add the stock and the tomatoes with their juice and bring to a boil.
Add the tortellini and cook according to the package directions.
Add the chopped spinach and serve.*
{Note: if there are some people in your house that don't care for spinach, instead of adding it to the big soup pot, you can add a handful of the spinach to the bottom of each bowl before adding the hot soup for those that like it.}
Serve with crusty French bread. Or garlic cheesy bread like we did. You can find that recipe {here}

The College of Law wants every student to pass the bar. Here is some information and options you should consider regarding passing the bar.
Your grade point average is the most reliable predictor of bar passage success. Monitor your grade point average and continually seek feedback from faculty about your exam performance.
Plan on taking Legal Analysis Strategies in your final semester. It's a great opportunity to practice the analytical and communicative skills necessary for success on the bar exam and as a practitioner and faculty also teach bar preparation strategy workshops after graduation as a supplement to commercial bar review courses. These workshops are at no cost. Watch for the announcement of these classes.
You should take a commercial bar preparation class. Being a member of the American Bar Association may provide a discount for some commercial bar review programs.
Please make an appointment with Financial Management to discuss your situation if you are unable to afford bar preparation courses.
Alumni mentors are available to coach and support bar takers. Some of the specialty bars offer bar assistance and coaching as well.
Plan in advance to spend 8-10 weeks preparing and practicing to take and pass your bar exam (approximately 50-60 hours per week). It is your first full-time law "job" upon graduation.
Not every option is right for every person. Students need to assess which options will be most helpful to them.

text: My daughter & I went to see Glamantic show last night – Absolutely brilliant! I can't rate it highly enough! The energy and professionalism of the band, especially the two lead vocalists were outstanding. The songs chosen were spot on for the two decades, and you would be hard pressed to tell the difference from the original artists. (could perhaps include Bowie?) They seemed to get better & better as the evening went on and the lead singer's energy was amazing. We were spell-bound from start to finish and sang along to everything! It was great that they were on for at least 2 hours plus – excellent value for money and the best thing I've seen in years. Despite the venue being only half full, the band gave it their all as if we were in a capacity crowd in the 02. The venue is great, the lights are magical. What a fantastic experience it was!

Thanks to violence in Syria between al-Qaeda supported rebels and Kurdish troops, 20,000 Syrian Kurds have fled to Iraqi Kurdistan. That's just over the past six days. The tremendous flood of refugees has the United Nations puzzled, with Adrian Edwards, UN High Commissioner for Refugees, stating, "The factors allowing this sudden movement are not fully clear to us at this stage." On August 15, nearly 8,000 Kurds from Syria apparently crossed a bridge across the Tigris into Iraq. On August 17, another 10,000 entered.
According to the latest figures, there are nearly 2 million Syrian refugees who have fled to surrounding countries. There are another 4.25 Syrians who have fled their homes in Syria but remain within the country. Since a mid-July firefight between Kurds and al-Qaeda Islamists in Syria, Islamists have gone on a rampage, murdering hundreds of Syrian Kurds. Most refugees are women, children, and the elderly. Refugee camps already dot Iraqi Kurdistan. The Turks are widely suspected to support the al-Qaeda Islamists in their quest to seize the oil-rich Kurdish areas of northern Syria.

Caleb Nelson was born just five months before Katie and I moved to Ukraine, and has since played a very prominent role in our lives. We've enjoyed watching him grow and experience life. We've loved watching him learn and observing his personality develop. He's a smart kid, and has a gift at endearing himself to those around him.
For Caleb's whole life, I have been his personal photographer. It hasn't been a paying gig, but it's been one I've truly treasured. It's been my goal to not simply document special occasions in his life, but to capture his contagious personality as well. It's been a challenge I've cherished, and one I hope makes the baby slideshows of his future stand out among his peers.
Today Caleb turns four years old, which makes us a little sad over here in Ukraine. The Nelsons moved back to the States a week ago and, as such, suspended my employment as the family photographer. This will be the first birthday party of his we haven't attended. The first one I didn't get to shoot.
I suppose what we're feeling today is just an inkling of what it feels like when missionaries move the grandkids to the other side of the world: How could you do that to us? Is he even going to remember us? As Caleb's unofficial aunt and uncle, you can color us heartbroken.
But life moves on; these pictures from the last four years are proof enough of that. The day before they left last week, I had the chance to shoot one last set of birthday portraits. I love how they turned out. Baby Caleb has grown into 100% little boy, and he's on his way to becoming entirely little man. We're proud of him, and know that he's going to do amazing things in this life.
Our only regret today is knowing that we'll have to watch it all from afar, while looking at someone else's pictures.

Kampala The High Court has ordered Hima Cement to pay Kampala International University (KIU) Shs2.7 billion in damages, among other awards. KIU is owned by Kampala businessman Hassan Basajjabalaba.
The judgment has also granted Hima Cement the right to demand the said total sum of the award from the Uganda Revenue Authority (URA), who, the judgment states unlawfully procured a breach of agreement between KIU and Hima Cement.
The January 4 judgment by former Commercial Court Judge Anup Singh Choudry will also see Mr Basajjabalaba paid damages in the price difference of cement from 2005 to the time of the judgment, the cost of the suit and 26 per cent in interest from October 26, 2005.
Mr Basajjabala has been asked to make calculations of the loss he incurred in the price differences and submit the total sum to the registrar for endorsement and effecting. Hima in January 2006 requested URA to investigate KIU over allegations that it was selling the tax-free cement Hima was supplying.
On August 30, 2005, KIU's Ishaka Campus asked President Museveni to waive tax on the construction materials, particularly cement which it was buying to build the University Teaching Hospital.
On November 30, the same year, government agreed to cover the taxes on the cement purchased by KIU from Hima Cement and Tororo Cement.
It paid Hima Cement over Shs2.6 billion to cover the Value Added Tax (VAT) on 50,000 tonnes of cement. At this point, KIU would only pay the equivalent cost price of the cement.
URA investigations later revealed that part of the cement was being diverted to the Kampala market by Seroma Limited, the company KIU said it had contracted to collect the cement on its behalf.
URA also discovered that the University Teaching Hospital project only required 13,974 tonnes of cement as opposed to the 50,000 tonnes government had paid for using tax payers' money. Hima was invoicing Seroma on behalf of KIU at a cost price per bag because government had paid VAT.
In its findings, URA said Seroma was making Shs1,885 in profit per bag of cement. On the strength of these findings, Hima Cement stopped supplying Mr Basajjabalaba's project.
In addition, URA requested the Finance Ministry to reduce the VAT facility extended to KIU to the actual level. Justice Choudry, however, ruled that URA was wrong to stop Seroma from receiving cement on the basis that it was being diverted. "The defendants on the other hand had the VAT in their credit account with the URA as its output tax."
"The payment was a matter of adjustments between the defendant and the URA as and when Hima submitted their returns," the judgment read in part. He also ruled that the scheme would not have benefited KIU because it made no sense to pay Seroma VAT on the cement when it had already been paid for by the government.
Asked why a Justice in the War Crimes Division of the High Court delivered a judgment in the Commercial Court, Judiciary Spokesperson Elias Kisawuzi said this is not strange. "He could have had pending issues that stopped him from delivering the judgment before he was transferred. Besides, some judgments can take over 10 years to conclude.During that period, a judge can be transferred more than twice," he said.
"The transfers will not stop a judge from delivering judgment on cases they were previously handling.

A federal judge has overturned a New York City law that would have required banks to make new disclosures regarding their investments in local communities.
The 2012 law was designed to pressure banks by asking them to provide a raft of data that went beyond what federal regulators collect under the Community Reinvestment Act. The information sought by New York City related to banks' small-business lending, their efforts to prevent foreclosures, their lending for affordable housing, and their branches in low-income communities.
The law applied to a list of 21 banks — including Bank of America, Citibank, JPMorgan Chase, and other large institutions — that are eligible to hold the Big Apple's municipal deposits. The city's Banking Commission was authorized to consider the new information when deciding where to park the New York's sizable base of deposits, which gave the banks an incentive to invest more in the city's neighborhoods.
Ex-New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg's administration concluded that the law was an overreach, since bank regulation is the exclusive purview of the state and federal governments, and declined to implement it.
But current Mayor Bill de Blasio's administration took steps this year to start collecting data from banks. That led to a legal challenge by the New York Bankers Association.
The 71-page decision by U.S. District Judge Katherine Polk Failla delved deep into the City Council's deliberations over the so-called Responsible Banking Act. She concluded that the local law was an impermissible attempt to regulate banks, writing that the law's structure "secures compliance through public shaming of banks."
"The legislators who sponsored and who spoke in support of this bill did so with one voice: federal and state laws were seen as ineffectual in terms of both the collection of information and the influence over bank conduct regarding community reinvestment in New York City," the judge wrote.
She found that the local regulatory regime "conflicts with federal regulations and the federal [Community Reinvestment Act], which provide national banks with more circumscribed directives."
The decision could establish an important precedent for other U.S. cities. Philadelphia, Cleveland, Los Angeles, Pittsburgh, Kansas City, San Diego, Seattle and Boston are among the cities with similar laws.

Thank you for your Superbe service of excellence!!!
Receiving the beautifully wrapped box was a treat in itself. But then inside – absolutely the best chocolate! Each piece as exquisite as the last. You just have to savor these.
I recently enjoyed these delights at a festive party. Talk about creamy and indulgent! Every bite is melt-in-your-mouth delicious. As a self-professed chocolate snob who runs around my city looking for the best of the best, I can say that these are right up there. Enjoy!
They say that life is like a box of chocolates and you never know what you are going to get. If life were like a box of these chocolates then no one would ever complain. I have shared these with friends on multiple occasions, and it's always impressive how quickly they vanish.
An excellent selection of chocolates! You know how, in any box of chocolate, there's one that's awful and no one wants to eat? Well, there isn't one in this box. I tried to keep it at work a sort of snack reward, and ended up finishing the box in 2 days.

Something strange is happening in the market for MBS: the largest buyer by far is about to leave the market and no one seems to be blinking an eye.
When the Federal Reserve announced in September that it would begin slowing its MBS purchases and cease them by the end of the first quarter, mortgage bankers winced. They feared that without the Fed to prop up the market, the prices of such securities would sink, causing their yields, relative to benchmarks like Treasury bonds, to soar. Such an increase would in turn cause mortgage rates to jump, sapping demand for home loans in an already-weak housing market.
"Throughout the second half of last year, mortgage bankers were freaking out," said Tom Millon, chief executive of Capital Markets Cooperative, a Ponte Vedra Beach, Fla., company that provides secondary marketing services to banks. "Most of my clients were saying, 'How are we going to protect ourselves against this?' "
But it appears that the industry's worst fears were unfounded.
The Federal Reserve confirmed March 16 that it will indeed complete its purchases of $1.25 trillion of agency MBS by the end of this month, and prices have barely budged. The spread between the yields of the 30-year Fannie Mae current coupon and five-year Treasuries has been relatively steady, hovering around 200 basis points for the past several months.
And that has a lot of analysts and investors mighty confused.
"I'm trying to get my head around it," said Christian Cooper, an interest rate strategist at Royal Bank of Canada's RBC Capital Markets. Since the Fed has been warning for some time of a withdrawal, "it has been a known entity, but they are basically the only known buyer out there," he said.
The Fed said in November 2008 that it would begin purchasing "large quantities" of MBS guaranteed by Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and the Ginnie Mae — one of a number of measures the central bank took at the height of the financial crisis to get the economy back on solid footing and heal the battered housing market.
In short, the Fed became the largest buyer of MBS and effectively lowered mortgage rates, spurring a wave of refinancings and other mortgage lending activity.
Bankers, however, were concerned that once the Fed removed itself, the market wouldn't be strong enough to stand on its own.
"Initially, when the Fed announced it had a more firm date to withdraw, there was a lot of concern that you would have volatility as well as an upward shift in yields," said Jim Deitch, chairman and CEO of American Home Bank in Mountville, Pa., a division of First National Bank of Chester County, a $1.4 billion-asset community bank. "We're breathing a big sigh of relief that the market has been able to absorb this news."
Deitch said he constantly watches what's going on in the MBS market "because it's where our product ultimately goes and where mortgage rates are set."
Market participants point to several reasons for the relative stability. For one, the traditional MBS buyers that were pushed to the sidelines when the Fed came in are ready and waiting for their chance to get back into the market.
"As the government has become the world's largest buyer of mortgage securities in the last year, they've effectively squeezed all other buyers out of the market," Cooper said. "The natural mortgage-backed securities buyer has been accumulating cash, effectively waiting for the program to end."
Scott Colbert, the director of fixed income at Commerce Trust Co., a unit of Commerce Bancshares in St. Louis, agreed.
"I do think there are a lot of people like us with cash on the sidelines that didn't buy securities that will buy [into] the market," said Colbert, who manages $13 billion of assets.
Analysts also said that Fannie and Freddie's planned repurchases of their delinquent loans from their securitized pools is helping buoy the market.
On Feb. 10, Freddie announced that it would repurchase nearly all securitized loans that were 120 days or more past due, or about $70 billion of loans, during the month of February. The principal payments on these loans would be passed through to investors on March 15 and April 15, Freddie said at the time.
Fannie also said that day that it would purchase a significant portion of its $127 billion of delinquent loans, but that its purchases would take place over the next few months. On Thursday, Fannie released more details about its plans, including its intent to buy about 220,000 delinquent loans from MBS pools this month.
The repurchases make the market more attractive for buyers, analysts said. With the delinquent loans gone, the ones that are left for buyers will be "easier to understand" and "more highly valued," Colbert said.
Also, the principal that is being returned to investors can be reinvested back into the market — in addition to all the other money that has been waiting to pounce.
"What wasn't anticipated was how much cash would go back into the market once the Fed stopped buying," Cooper said. "So instead of the spreads widening dramatically, it's more likely MBS spreads will stay in a very tight range for the foreseeable future."
The unexpected firming of prices may be self-reinforcing. Colbert said investors who had made bets that mortgage-backed securities would decline in value are being forced to buy them now to cut their losses. "There were a lot of shorts that assumed the spreads would have to widen," once the Fed stopped its purchases, Colbert said. "Some of those shorts are covering their shorts, so that's helping to keep the spreads."
Not all analysts are convinced the coast is clear, however. Some say a pop in MBS spreads is possible after March 31, once the Fed has actually left the market. But any spike will likely be short-lived and minimal.
"We could see some spread-widening," said Walt Schmidt, senior vice president and manager of structured product strategies at First Horizon National Corp.'s FTN Financial Capital Markets. But "it's not going to be a bloodbath where mortgage spreads widen out 50 basis points or something like that."
